LOL I think I posted this question not too long ago.

I dont' think I'll use beef fat again. The stuff I do have I'll likely save for burger/taco night.

For brats, I mix my venison 50:50 with pork shoulder roasts. If you are using just pork fat you should have a higher percentage venison but I'm not sure how high since I've only used pork shoulder.

Yep, pork butt/shoulder will work best.

If you have pure pork fat, mix no more than 10 or maybe 15 percent at most.  I like the 50-50 pork butt and venison also.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Ok, stupid question of the day. Costco sells "Pork sirloin." it sells for $1.50 a pound and looks pretty fatty. Is that the same as "pork butt"?  :dunno:

Ok. So I made my Brats. I used a couple pork shoulder roasts. I used one of those Hi-Country Wild Game Sausage Kits. Has anybody used these before? Haven't eaten any Brats yet. Will let you know how they turn out.

Alot of people use hi country, including me for the first time this year per recommendations from members on here.  Good stuff, wish it was cheaper though!

Had a brat this morning with breakfast. It was good, better than I thought for my first time. Next time I will add one more pork shoulder and grind it with coarse attachment instead of fine. Thanks for the advice/help.
